->Life is rough for smart kids in school. There's nothing super-heroic about getting your underwear yanked up your ass by meatheads because you can read without moving your lips.

Apparently, you make your geek the lab tech who's more pompous and annoying than all of the other lab techs put together. Sure, let's make the smug, superior guy the ''Star Trek''--sorry, "[[BlandNameProduct Astro Quest]]" fan. Clearly, THIS is the guy who would go to conventions in costume, fantasize about his co-workers in ''Astro Quest''-themed scenarios, refer to himself as a "padawan" and name his cat "Kobayashi Maru."
